Ticket to Ride

If you live in North America, Western Europe or a handful of other Asia-Pacific countries like Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc you basically won the worldwide travel lotto. By and large you can travel the globe with very few restrictions. For the rest of the planet they’re stuck queuing in long lines, applying for travel visas month in advance and paying hefty fees.

Hey even if you’re from the US or Canada all is not rosy. Some countries still require a visa upon arrival, others allow you to apply online and still a few require that good old-fashioned pastime of visiting an Embassy or Consulate. So we’re happy to present this online tool to help you know what type of visa restrictions you may be in for the next time you plan an international trip.

Simply type in your home country and check out the legend on the side.
